- There seems to be no netnews bb for math puzzles (which I regret), so this
- is posted here -- and don't flame me, please.
- Here is a sequence of thirty distinct items, separated by dashes:
- 00 - 02 - 20 - 01 - 22 - 10 - 22 - 14 - 26 - 18 -
- 06 - 25 - 04 - 23 - 11 - 03 - 15 - 27 - 19 - 07 -
- 28 - 09 - 17 - 29 - 08 - 16 - 24 - 05 - 13 - 21
- Questions:
- (1) What does it represent?
- (2) From the same thirty items, how many sequences of this kind can be
- formed, beginning with 00 - 02 and ending with 21?
- Answers and comments to wyler@cs.cmu.edu.
- If there's enough interest, I'll post the answer.
